Series: Managing Forest Ecosystems

Public debate has stimulated interest in finding greater compatibility among forest management regimes. The debate has often portrayed management choices as tradeoffs between biophysical and socioeconomic components of ecosystems. This work focuses on specific management strategies and emphasizes broad goals such as biodiversity, wood production and habitat conservation while maintaining other values from forestlands desired by the public. Commodity production (timber, nontimber forest products) and the other forest values (biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat) can be simultaneously produced from the same area in a socially acceptable manner. Based on early-21st century research in the Pacific Northwest, the text shows there are alternatives for managing forest ecosystems that avoid the divisive arena of ""either-or"" choices. Much of the work discussed in this book addresses two aspects of the compatibility issue. First, how are various forest management practices related to an array of associated goods and services? Second, how do different approaches to forest management affect relatively large and complex ecosystems?
